Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.Ludwig von Beethoven

Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call
it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious
consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run
about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.Hunter S. Thompson

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.Victor Hugo

Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation,
laughter - to all these music gives voice, but in such a way
that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a
new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and
clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.Albert
Schweitzer

Either heaven or hell will have continous background music. Which one you think it
will be
says a lot about you.Bill Vaughan

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.
It seems
to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort,
when I am filled with music.George Eliot
